    lol, this is pretty much the norm for my area and considered no big deal.

    first FSD video I have seen in this type of weather. I have my doubts FSD could work in these types of conditions due to cameras getting caked with salty/slush/dirt.

    Doing things differently when facing problems is good.

    Infact I think flexibility is the USP of Tesla as a company. I can’t imagine any major automaker CEO candidly admitting issues (or on the flip side being hilariously wrong on so many timings).

    ps: Mitsubishi brought their phev SUV to US 5 years late. Nissan is yet to produce 4 EVs they promised in 2011. Infiniti never brought out their EV ... but all those CEOs are gone now ;)

    You honestly believe Elon has been candid and transparent about FSD?

    No one can predict the future. Research, much like the weather, is particularly difficult to accurately predict. Go ahead and complain that the hurricane was improperly forecast.

    Note that I didn’t ask whether Elon had been accurate in forecasting FSD progress. I asked whether he has been transparent and candid about what he knows at the time.

    He/they have outright lied about FSD-related things that are completely under Tesla's control. The bad predictions about future features are almost irrelevant in this context.

    Yup, he is not even stating his usual "3 months maybe, 6 months definitely" any more :D
    I hope it is not 3 years maybe, 6 years definitely :eek:
    yes, it's a joke. Folks should smile.

    Come to think of it - Tesla released traffic light recognition almost one year ago, and they still haven’t removed the explicit driver confirmations. This is such a small risk compared to releasing FSD Beta, and makes me think that they are WAY more risk averse than we might have previously thought.

    i honestly doubt it's that. I think it's another case of hubris where they think "bah not even worth the bit flip, we will move to the new codebase any day now"

    “There will be a gap” is very not like Elon. Normally everything is ready in couple of weeks and starts rollin wide release probably in the beginning of the next month.

    I do like how they keep refining it.
    * Changed the size of the lights.
    * Made relevant ones to 'your lane' brighter.
    * Recently, made relevant ones to 'your lane' the only stoplight with the lights on.

    Definitely not. Lots of lies and half truths. Anyone remember the fake 2016 self driving video?

    Was it actually fake, or did they just need a lot of fries before they got a good run?
